Nice so far, I'd lose the sun strip and ring sticker though,

The Elx badge just pulls off too.

Im leaving all badges on the car, not fond of the debadged look...looks cheap :eek:
as for the ring sticker, it'll be coming off when i find out who makes the M50 sticker :p

Some puntos come with just the punto badge on the right. Looks better IMO

Seats off a sporting would be class.

Maybe consider de-wipering the rear to give it a more clean look?;)

You also could fill it with body filler. I think, ask dgt about that though, I think he done it to his punto.

I like my rear wiper, It's practical.
Practicality is awesome.

I think the standard punto bumper is pretty neat. Sticking on a splitter isn't really going to add to the look.

Modifications for the sake of modification is a bit silly. Removing a black wiper on a black car with black tinted windows is hardly going to transform it. The rear wiper is also quite handy.

What I would do though, is add the mk 2.5 lights. think they look quite nice.

Pretty sure the lights on the boot don't do anything?
Even if the mk 2.5 punto has the rear fog on the boot door, you could use the drivers side reverse light as the fog with a red bulb.

Also I'd get the new type badging as below.

A 10mm spacer on the back wheels will do wonders for it too, cheap way to fill the arches a bit better

Hi all,

I also had my arm twisted by bubblewrap Heres my Punto 16v Sporting, as you can see nothing major done with it expet some after maret wheels that are getting a bit tires looking rear tints.

My question is can anybody recommend anywhere that does body work at sensible prices. I live in Galway and most of the body shops are only intersted in insurance work where they can charge premium prices. I need a good bit of rust taking care of on the roof of al places?

Cheers Folks
